Email smtp configuration - squirrelmail

Email Setup
Hi,

I am trying to send mail through custom squirrelmail in my application frontend.

Here's what I did till now:
1- Installed Squirrelmail in a directory.
2- configured squirrelmail (it shows messages now)

I cannot figure out the smtp settings of the same and it usually bumps out error.

Can anyone help me with this?

I know that the SMTP settings are provided in the admin panel...
Alppying that, i still get an error--- Notice: fputs() [function.fputs]: send of 12 bytes failed with errno=10054 An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. in C:\wamp\www\Joomla_1.5.22\squirrelmail\class\deliv er\Deliver_SMTP.class.php on line 156

Any help on this guys??

That unique php error is a headache!!

If I could get a copy of the config file of the squirrelmail(which runs the cpanel email), I will be able to solve this.
My current installation runs slow too.(Same is with Joomla)

Can I suggest to include SquirrelMail, or any awesome Email Client to be included in Softaculous/ Fantastico. It would be great help to run email in the front end of the application, since 2 email accounts don't necessarily need cpanel admin login.

Thanks for your help in Advance.

To be more specific on this problem :

I need these parameters--

$use_smtp_tls = ?;
$smtp_auth_mech = ?;
$smtp_sitewide_user = ?;
$smtp_sitewide_pass = ?;

I have tried various combinations here..please help me configure this!!

I think you should open a support ticket for the same.
I have searched the forum for you regarding the topic but I could not get the required information.
You put a support request and x10 will certainly help you.

Hi vbbc,

I have found the problem.

With Squirrelmail and Roundcube both, If accessing from a development machine(your own localhost!), it would create a problem, whereas if you upload the content to the website, on x10 server, it would work fine.

I think the problem is due to various reasons,

1- The mail programs require database connectivity, the access to database is limited here.
2- I am using windows 7, so syntax like /var/ does not work.
3- They all require ssl support, which needs to be enabled in php. This was not available on my machine, when I uploaded roundcube, the installer pointed out this.
